Chapter 14
As the hover board flew through the sky, Rapunzel had one thought.
"You're not out of danger just yet, Ms. Clumsy still has to land."
"Land?" Penny shrieked. "I can't find a safe place where I won't hurt you guys!"
"It's okay." Vanellope replied. "You'll find a spot."
Penny nodded, determined and continued to fly.
After a bit, she exclaimed. "I found a place! It's the hidden meadow right next to the kingdom of the people with powers."
"People with powers?" Vanellope and Dash asked in disbelief.
As she landed, Penny crash landed the hover board, but luckily, no one was injured.
"I'll rebuild a new one later..." Penny thought.
Dash took Vanellope by the hand.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
Vanellope nodded. "Let's see if we can find our families."
Nervously, she untucked her pendant from under her dress, and the two of them made their way into the village.
When word got out that there were new people entering, everyone came to see.
One looked at Vanellope's necklace and gasped.
"Princess Violet?" He asked in disbelief.
"It's princess Violet!" Another person exclaimed.
One by one they all bowed and a tall lady stepped forward.
"My child!" She exclaimed to Van... Princess Violet before hugging her.
"I missed you so much. We looked everywhere for you."
"Mother..." Violet whispered.
She turned to Dash. "Dash! I have a mother!"
"I don't know how you made your way back home, Violet, but I'm so proud of you. And we'll never lose each other again."
She pulled Violet in for another hug.
Once they broke apart, the Queen smiled again.
"Now, Violet, I have a surprise for you."
Violet turned as a prince was heading her way.
"I'm so glad to meet you, Violet." He gently smiled.
"This is your betrothed." The queen explained.
"Betrothed?" Violet asked, confused.
She turned to look at Dash who, head low and shoulders slumped, was trying to find an escape.
"Why would she want someone as blah as me when she can have a prince?" He thought. "I bet he doesn't even dye his hair."
The prince kissed Violet's hand. "My dear, once we get married, and get to know each other, I'm sure we'll be very happy together."
Violet looked over at Dash then back to her mom and the prince.
"We need to talk." She said. "All of my life, people have been telling me what to do and I did it, cause I didn't know any better. Now I do what's best for me."
With that, she turned to the prince. "Your majesty... I'm sure you're a great guy, you're the whole prince package... handsome, tall, but it won't work out, for I'm in love with someone else, and if I'm the princess, I should be able to choose who I marry."
Her mother sadly smiled. "I understand it must be a shocker, Violet." She began, "you see, this prince is a backup. You were betrothed to another prince, but he disappeared the night you did. His name was Wilbur."
"Wilbur?" Dash asked in surprise.
"Bill her!" Violet exclaimed.
"Bill who for what?" An accountant asked.
"Sadly, I don't think there's any hope of him returning."
Dash ran over full speed and took Vioet's hand.
"Guess again." They both said.
"Prince Wilbur?" The Queen asked in surprise.
"Yeah!" Dash... Wilbur exclaimed.
"Darling!" The Queen began, "anyone else I should know about?"
Violet turned as Penny and Rapunzel slowly entered.
"Only my friends." She laughed.
While Penny and Rapunzel spoke with the queen, Violet pulled Wilbur aside.
"We have some... unfinished business, Prince Wilbur."
"That we do, Princess Violet." Wilbur smiled.
Taking her hand, he leaned in and gently kissed her. It was a first kiss for both, but it left both of them feeling complete.
Three years later
The doors of a chapel were thrown open and out ran Prince Wilbur and Princess Violet into their carriage.
In the audience was their whole kingdom, including Penny, who had finally reunited with her own family, Rapunzel, who was with a villager who went by the name of Eugene, and Violet couldn't help notice a ring on her finger. Even Disgust and Mirage were there. Disgust was there with her new boyfriend... the other prince.
They even managed to find Taffyta and Rancis, who were fired not long after Violet's escape.
A year prior, King Candy had been caught putting a child in the chamber and was put in a chamber of his own. A chamber called jail.
Violet turned and kissed her new husband.
"You know, you look really good as a brunette." She commented.
Wilbur smiled at her. "And you look beautiful no matter what." He replied.
Violet laughed. "I love you, Wilbur."
"And I love you, Violet."
And with that, he leaned in to kiss his wife again.
Phew, another story finished. Thank you for sticking around to read. I changed a lot of things from the original source material, but I do hope you didn't find it too distracting, and can take the time to give me some feedback. In the meantime, this is Butterchicken, signing off.
